Re: My point of view with Habbo Hotel
It isn't up to you guys what happens to the Habbo Hotel section.
Like KyleEnos said, there are more than just MMORPGs in RaGEZONE.
Yes, it's true, there are people who are obsessed with Habbo to the point where it becomes unhealthy. One of my best friends spends over $600 US a year buying "Habbo Credits".
On the other hand, there are people who play "real" MMORPGs in a similar manner. I once saw on the news that there was a guy who wouldn't leave his character alone for more than half an hour for fear of being attacked and losing all his progress.
This guy had his computer running 24/7. He moved his bed in front of it! He sleeps for half an hour, then plays for about 3 hours, then sleeps again. All he does to play is wake up, sit on the side of his bed, check what progress his character made through the night by means of auto-respond-to-attack mode, stores away the loot and replenishes his health, then goes straight back to the monsters! He just has everything he needs in the real world brought to him.
Then there was a bit about how he hasn't left his bedroom in a year, all his friends have left him. He exists virtually, and that's the end of it.
Habbo provides entertainment for a certain type of person. MMORPGs do the same for a different type of person.
It all depends on what entertains you.
If you guys want to laugh in the faces of "idiots who consider a bunch of malformed, indentical, pixellated cartoon characters sexually attractive", be my guest.
But these "idiots" laugh in the faces of "sad computer geeks who exist virtually, and get 3 hours of sleep every day because all they do is hack pixel monsters to death with pixel swords".
The Habbo section isn't going to be wiped off the face of RZ forever simply because, in it, you don't play a sadistic bastard who kills things for pixel gold, and then says "omg we so pwnd dat troll. We is da 1337."

Re: My point of view with Habbo Hotel
I say nuke the section. But that will loose members, and cause spamming, flame wars. Nothing will happen with Habbo Hotel, it will stay here forever..

Grab your guns and storm the front,
We're going in
Re: My point of view with Habbo Hotel
Get ready to meet the Habbo section's 1337 pixel weapons =P
Don't forget it's coders. They will use scripters to turn you into malformed, identical pixel characters =0
Not to mention the disclaimers =( you'll be told to piss off or be fined $1000!
Violent pixel death awaits xD

Yours, or anyones elses opinion on MMORPG's is of no concern to this site, this site was created for a MMORPG called Legend of Mir 2, and was later expanded to be a home to all MMORPG's in 1 way or another. Habbo is not a MMORPG, and therefor doesn't need to have any sections for it.
While the line between Habbo and some gamers might be fine, the fact is that Habbo is a virtual chat program, whereas most MMORPG's really are a game, and even though the motives for most addicted players might not be the gaming part, but rather the social side of it, doesn't make the 2 the same, Habbo really is quite a lot worse, because it's that side of the MMORPG's that make those games bad, so you take the worst from MMORPG's, and you put it in a "game".
What crack is to cocaine, is Habbo to MMORPG's.
